Shanan Peters on Quantifying the Global Sedimentary Rock Record
Manage episode 426571261 series 3293313
Shanan Peters believes we need to assemble a global record of sedimentary rock coverage over geological time. As he explains in the podcast, such a record enables us to disentangle real changes in the long-term evolution of the Earth-life system from biases introduced by the unevenness and incompleteness of the sedimentary record. To this end, he and his team have established Macrostrat, a platform for the aggregation and distribution of our knowledge about the spatial and temporal distribution of sedimentary rocks. In the podcast, he describes some important findings made possible by Macrostrat. One of them is that gaps in the record are often as revealing about the underlying processes involved as the rocks preserved above and below the gaps.
Peters is a Professor in the Department of Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
